    Absolutely beautiful! I think Pop-Tarts should be a sponsor and they should have a picture of you on the box. First of all, you enjoy them. Second, the multi-colored sprinkles match your hair. I'm impressed.

    Nice video series of the Colorado Flats. Been tent overlanding for years now out of our JL Wrangler and never seen a rooftop tent i cared for being 6'2". After seeing your Intrepid Geo 2.5 review I took the plung and ordered it. Got it yesterday and installed it on my Rhino Rack. I like it so far except for the wind whistling noise on the highway. Great tent so far. Thanks for your 10% off discount code.
    Planning our next trip now to this location on the Colorado Flats. Might take my diesel heater this time.
    Thanks, I've been watching your videos for years now. We are retired, so every day of the week is the day you want it to be!
    Hope our path come to find you on the same trail someday. Thanks again for sharing all your adventures.

    • @OzarkOverlandAdventures
      @OzarkOverlandAdventures  4 месяца назад

      Awesome! I hope you get as much enjoyment out of it as I have. If you have the cross bars on the rhino rack, every friend I have that has those with a RTT says it whistles. Try switching to the platform instead of the cross bars. My wife has that on her Wrangler and she's never had an issue with noise.

    Hey! The "barn smell" is all part of it! We live an hour west of the Flat Tops and our property is considered "free range" for cows from May to July when the cows are moved up to higher ground to feed. If there's a cow patty on our road at home, I'll even drive through it- the dogs love it! And getting it on the Jeep while 4 wheeling? No big deal. As far as not seeing deer or elk, they are up high this time of year, especially since it's been a little warmer than usual. Check with Budges Resort that you came across, they'll fill you in. Thanks again for your videos and giving such an in-depth view of the Flat Tops.

  • @MountainMan677
    @MountainMan677 4 месяца назад

    When I went to Colorado in June I was in some parts where cattle were everywhere. My offset on my wheels makes them stick out a bit more and ran over a cow patty which slung it inside the jeep. That was fun cleaning that out😂
    Yep definitely adding the flat tops to my list. I should've hung out with you that week but so glad I went to Utah because it was an epic trip.

    First and foremost, love your channel! Thank you for finally acknowledging us subs that live our lives vicariously through your channel. And it's not just that easy to get out and enjoy the wilderness, off roading, as much as we would...finances, job, family, life. Most of the time you come across a little "preachy"on just do..make it happen. Again, love your channel, huge fan!

    Another great vid! Keep them coming!
    From an early age my father taught me to read maps and he had a Map Box full of forest service maps. He’d always look for new roads or routes to explore on our wheeling / camping trips. Here I am 49 years later still doing the same thing, only now with my kids on both paper and electronic.
    All hail Contour lines, declination diagrams and legends!😁

    Spent many a day by foot or horseback and 4x4 up in the Little Flat Tops Wilderness area. It is a beautiful area to explore and enjoy. A lot of trails have been closed unfortunately to dead and downed timber. Still enjoying your content and the places you take us 👍
    Oil filter housing/cooler are well known on the 3.6 L for leaking oil. Had to replace mine when it got around 90-100k miles

    Hey Matt, it can get very busy up there on weekends; especially holiday weekends. It was a zoo over 4th of July weekend with tons of RVs and SXSs.

  • @Johnny-tt8zc
    @Johnny-tt8zc 4 месяца назад

    I'm one of those that most likely won't be able to get out there for anything more than overnight or day trips. Only having a weeks vacation kind of limits how far you can go.
    Safe travels.

    Look up Crescent and Mackinaw lakes. They're in the flattops wilderness area. There's a great road that goes up in there from off of the same road that coffee pot road comes off of...just farther up the road. I think it would make a good video.

    Beautiful video. Wanting a Rubicon Gladiator for an everyday driver, but will also be my everyday driver. So my question is what sort of mpg average do you see? I know you definitely don’t buy a
    jeep for increased
    mpg lol.

    City boys worry bout cow patties. Country boys pay no mind

    • @OzarkOverlandAdventures
      @OzarkOverlandAdventures  4 месяца назад +5

      If country boys want their trucks to smell like shit and get it all over their door handles then that’s their choice. 🤷🏼‍♂️😂🤦🏼‍♂️

    • @InGratitudeIam
      @InGratitudeIam 4 месяца назад +1

      Perhaps. But the "country boys" I know make sure they smell really good before going out on a date. Unless, of course, their date is a cow.

  • @mikefoster5663
    @mikefoster5663 4 месяца назад

    Thanks for the videos. I watch all of them. Very relaxing. What are your thoughts regarding RTT vs canopy camper (i.e. Alucab) vs off road trailer with wet bath (i.e. OBI Dweller 13) when it comes to overlanding with wife in terms of comfort vs convenience ? Don’t expect an answer, I know you are busy, but you have a world of experience and a wife who travels with you.

    • @OzarkOverlandAdventures
      @OzarkOverlandAdventures  4 месяца назад

      Every setup has its pros and cons. It’s just depends on your style or travel and comfort needs. We stopped pulling a trailer because it doesn’t match the trails we like to do. I’d say the canopy camper allows the best balance between capability and comfort. Cara loves her Explore Elevated topper.

    Hey Matt, what is the height of your truck including with the roof top tent? Does it fit through a 7 foot garage door? Any plans on visiting canada? Maybe with TSTN in BC? I'd like to see you do some ontario stuff if there is anything around, or northern michigan. Take care!

    could be sucking a little oil by worn valve guides / seals. sometimes will get blue smoke on deacceleration
